Wu Jiu listened to Qi Hou asking how he saw it, and looked down at the two jade pendants in the box, which can be called national treasures, and suddenly felt what it was like to always write "a fire of ignorance" in the Water Margin Chong's Wu Jiu's head is going to explode, I really want to throw these two buns and jade pendants on Qihou's face...

Qihou smiled and said, "Second brother, what's the matter? Don't you like it?"

Wu Jiu just said indifferently: "Your Majesty, have you used both Shibi?"

When Qihou heard this, he smiled and said: "No, only a small half was used. Although Gu's craftsmanship is not good, it is because of poor craftsmanship that he saved it. Now that the carving is finished, there is still a lot left."

When he said this, Wu Jiu breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking about it, the diameter of these two steamed buns is only one or two centimeters, so there shouldn't be a lot of waste.

Wu Jiu heaved a sigh of relief, and Qi Hou smiled again and said, "Second Brother, do you still want Gu to carve something next to you?"

Wu Jiu quickly stopped and said, "No, don't even think about such a big pancake skewer."

Qihou was surprised and said: "How does the second brother know that Gu wants to carve pancakes and skewers?"

Wu Jiu secretly wiped his sweat. In this winter, he was sweating profusely. Marquis Qi is really a sharp weapon for mobilizing his adrenal glands. Wu Jiao was so scared that he couldn't do it anymore.

Seeing that Wu Jiu hadn't said he liked his jade pendant, Qi Hou reached out and picked up one. The jade pendant had already been threaded with a rope. It was a small bun with a diameter of one to two centimeters. It was very small, but the workmanship was very delicate.

Qi Hou picked up one, put it on Wu Jiao's waist, and said with a smile, "Second brother, do you like it? Gu can help you put it on?"

Wu Jiu really wanted to give this prodigal son a slap in the face, but he didn't know whose surname was Xiong between the two of them!

But looking at Qihou’s excited face, forget it. After all, Qihou also had good intentions, but people nowadays have not yet learned the value of Heshibi. Wu Jiu also has problems, and Wu Jiu didn’t tell Qi right away. Hou.

After all, if you tell Marquis Qi, maybe other people will know, and they will still be in Cai State, what if He Shibi is robbed?

When Wu Jiu thought of He Shibi being "dismembered" and turned into steamed buns, his heart began to bleed instantly. This is an invaluable treasure that is boundless to the world, and Marquis Qi is truly a master.

Qi Hou carefully put it on Wu Jiu's waist, and when it touched the Yu Dun on Wu Jiu's waist, he made a crisp sound of "Ding!"

Qihou smiled and said: "It looks good, the second brother looks good in anything."

Wu Jiao knew that Marquis Qi was talking about love, but if he looked good on a bun, then he would look good on anything else, and besides, the bun was carved from He's Bi, so wouldn't it look good?

As Qihou said, he stretched out his hand to pick up the little Yudun, and said, "Second Brother, this one is broken, just take it off."

Wu Jiu hastily stretched out his hand to hold Qihou's hand, and said, "Don't pick it off."

Qihou said: "Then what should I do if the bun is broken?"

Wu Jiu really wanted to kneel down to Marquis Qi, because he was convinced, what should he do if he broke Heshibi?

Wu Jiu also felt sorry for He's Bi, although that Yudun was also a good jade, but today's jade is definitely not comparable to He's Bi, so Wu Jiu still picked He's Bi.

Seeing him take it off, Qihou said with aggrieved face: "Second brother, don't you wear it? Is it because the lonely carver is not good?"

Wu Jiu said helplessly: "It's not that I don't want to wear it. If you wear it on your waist, it may be damaged. Can you wear it on your neck?"

What Wu Jiu said really sounds good, but in fact he still has a little selfishness, if he puts it on his clothes as a necklace pendant, no one will see it.

Hearing what he said, Qi Hou became happy again, and quickly hung it around his neck. Fortunately, the rope was long enough.

Qihou put it on for him, picked up another jade bun with a smile, handed it to Wu Jiu, and said, "Then second brother also help Gu put it on? Put it on your neck too."

It is not popular to wear it around the neck in this day and age, especially for men, putting He's Bi in their clothes is considered a low-key luxury...

Wu Jiu had no choice but to help Marquis Qi put on the buns. When the two of them were wearing buns for each other, the soldiers below rushed up the tower and shouted: "Your Majesty!! Great Situ!! Good news!!"

As he spoke, he knelt down with a "plop". Although his face was sweating profusely and he was out of breath, his face was excited and his eyes were full of power, as if the battle had been fought very happily.

Qi Hou regained his majestic demeanor, as if he was not that prodigal son Xiong Xiaobai at all, and said with a smile: "Okay, well done, today's matter, first of all, the second brother Lao will be in command, and the soldiers of my Qi country will do their best." Responsibility! Pass down the order, and the siege soldiers must not harm the people of Xiguo."

"Yes!"

The herald quickly saluted, then ran down the tower with excitement on his face, got on his horse, and immediately sent the order again.

Wu Jiu and Qi Hou stood on the tower, looking at the darkness and silence in the sky from a distance, because the place of confrontation was far away, so they couldn't see it at all, Qi Hou said: "Second brother, it's windy here, you first Let's go back, it's getting late, go and rest quickly."

Wu Jiu shook his head and said, "Although the siege went smoothly, General Cao has not reported yet. It is not too late for Jiu to rest after General Cao returns."

Knowing that Wu Jiu couldn't let go, Marquis Qi comforted him and said, "Second brother, don't worry, that brat Cao GUI is so naughty, he will definitely be fine."

As he was talking, he heard the sound of "treading" horseshoes, and soon a group of soldiers came rushing from the darkness. Everyone looked down, and it was Cao GUI who was leading the way, followed by General Fuquan, and the escort behind him. captives of Chu.

Cao GUI held the reins in one hand and held a big box in the other. He was driving the horse quickly. He dismounted under the tower and said loudly, "Your humble general, Cao GUI, is back with orders!"

Qihou immediately said: "Open the city gate, and go down to the city with Gu to welcome you!"

As he spoke, he quickly turned around and walked down the city, Wu Jiao followed behind, everyone went down the tower, and soon saw Cao GUI and others standing outside the city gate, already lined up, and behind them were all soldiers from Chu State, They were captured one by one, looking like defeated quails, with their helmets and armor removed.

Qihou came out and said with a smile, "General Cao."

Cao GUI immediately offered the box in his hand and said, "Your Majesty, here is the head of the leader of the Chu army. Please take a look at it, Your Majesty."

Qihou stretched out his hand, didn't take the box, but opened it lightly with a flick. As soon as he opened it, everyone immediately smelled a strong smell of blood, and the soldiers behind also looked up one after another, and there was a round of cheers Hearing, the box really contained a human head, dripping with blood, with eyes and mouth open, screaming in astonishment.

Qihou glanced at it, then closed the box with a bang, and wrote with a smile: "Okay! All the troops will be rewarded today! Go back to the city!"

The crowd immediately cheered again. Under the leadership of Marquis Qi, they stepped into the city gate. Although it was already late at night, the fire in the city was like daytime. After a month of torment by the Chu army, Cai Guo The people also hated the Chu army to death. Now that they heard that the king of Qi brought back the head of the general of the Chu army, everyone came out spontaneously and knelt on both sides of the city gate to welcome him.

Qihou's team walked into the city, and the people kneeling in two rows kowtowed again and again, and no one knew who shouted "Qi Gong has no boundaries for thousands of years", and then the people shouted one after another, and gradually became a unified group. The pace, the sound shook thousands of miles in an instant, and went straight to the sky, everyone shouted: "Qi Gong has no boundaries for thousands of years."

When Qihou heard this, he was even more pleased with his smile, not only the joy of winning the battle, but also the joy of being supported by the people. Perhaps for a monarch, there is nothing more gratifying than the support of the people.

Qi Hou waved to the people kneeling on both sides, and the atmosphere became extremely enthusiastic in an instant. Wu Jiu felt that this was much more exaggerated than the star chasing scene.

It was not easy for everyone to get back to the mansion from the welcome of the common people. Along the way, they were greeted continuously by the common people. When they entered the mansion, they could still hear everyone's shouts.

When Qihou walked in, he couldn't help laughing "haha". After all, when he was outside, he needed to pay attention to the demeanor of the monarch, so he could only smile. The full name is very elegant and temperamental.

Now that Marquis Qi entered the mansion, he finally burst out laughing and said, "Happy! Today is really happy!"

All the soldiers quickly knelt down to congratulate Marquis Qi, Marquis Qi said with a smile: "There is no need to be restrained, you are the heroes today, and the hegemony of our Qi country is inseparable from all the generals."

He said, looked at Cao GUI, and said, "General Cao is suffering, let Tang Wu heal General Cao soon."

The whip marks on Cao GUI's face were real. In order to create the illusion that Cao GUI and Fist were at odds, Cao GUI suffered a lot, and he was really whipped. After all, the people of Chu State are more cunning, and they were wiped out one after another before. The Chu State's three-way army was naturally very cautious in the last one, so Cao GUI did not dare to relax, and took the initiative to accept the whip.

Wu Jiu hurriedly called Tang Wu, at this time, Ziqing came back from the outside to report, and heard that Qihou and Wu Jiu were in Cao GUI's room, so he entered Cao GUI's room.

As soon as he entered, he saw Cao GUI with his upper body exposed, sitting on the mat, his body covered with welts, and his face too, Tang Wu was cleaning his wounds, although it was a skin trauma, but because the welts had not been cleaned, many of them got in Sandy soil, looks a little inflamed and swollen.

Ziqing walked in and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Da Situ, the city of Xiguo has been completely controlled. Please rest assured, Your Majesty and Da Situ."

After hearing this, Qihou said, "Okay, Ziqing, you have worked hard too, so go back and rest first."

Ziqing cupped his hands and said: "I don't work hard, this is what I should do."

They were talking when they heard Cao GUI suddenly yelling "Aiyo aiyo", with his mouth still "hissing", he frowned and said, "Witch Tang is too clumsy, my lord, let that little girl Ziqing do it for me." Shall I clean the wound?"

When Ziqing heard this, he stared at him, and Qihou said helplessly, "Cao GUI, don't bully Ziqing all the time. Ziqing is just like you now, and he is also a hero."

Cao GUI smiled and said, "Okay, okay, can I ask Lord Ziqing to help me with my little emotional wound?"

Tang Wu was inexplicably said to be clumsy, which was an insult to a doctor. When he got up, he pressed Cao GUI's wound hard, and Cao GUI yelled "Ow!", almost fell down on the mat in pain.

When Ziqing saw it, he burst out laughing with a "poof", both Qihou and Wu Jiu felt very helpless, so they just left first and let them make trouble on their own.

Cao GUI rolled on the ground in pain, and said, "Ziqing, aren't you my good brother? Why are you still laughing at brother?"

Ziqing stared and said, "You deserve it, you asked for it."

Cao GUI got up from the ground and said, "Look at these wounds on my body, clean them up quickly, they really hurt."

Ziqing added: "Who told you to put on a show, if you insist on making it like this, you still deserve it, and you asked for it."

Cao GUI said with a smile: "It is natural to lure the enemy realistically. If you don't do it realistically, I'm afraid it will ruin the grand plan of your majesty and Da Situ."

It was a rare time for Ziqing to see him serious, so he picked up the clean veil on the case, dabbed some liquid medicine, and gently wiped his wound. Cao GUI was actually not afraid of pain, so he sat obediently.

Ziqing wiped the wound on Cao GUI's chest. Ziqing needed to lean back. Cao GUI suddenly put his arms around Ziqing's waist. Ziqing was shocked and said, "What are you doing!?"

Cao GUI smiled and said, "Seeing how difficult your movements are, just sit in my arms."

Ziqing's face froze, and his face turned red immediately. His skin was fair, and the redness was very obvious. Cao GUI smiled and said, "What's the matter, kid, Ziqing, are you sorry? Are you so embarrassed?"

Ziqing pressed on his wound angrily, and Cao GUI, who was in pain, yelled, "Ouch!" and said, "Murdered! Murdered!"

Seeing him shouting at the top of his lungs, Ziqing quickly said, "Don't shout, don't shout, what if you call in the soldiers on duty? General Cao will lose face then."

Cao GUI said: "You are the one who oppresses me, why am I ashamed?"

Ziqing couldn't say no to him, so in the end he gave Cao GUI the medicine.

Because it was late at night, Wu Jiu went back to the house and was about to go to bed. He could still hear Cao GUI yelling something to kill and kill in a loud voice while he was lying on the couch. How about molesting him...

After Qihou finished washing, he went into the inner room and saw that Wu Jiao had fallen asleep. I wonder if he was too tired, but he slept very soundly, because today he won the battle and wiped out all the troops of Chu State. It's not a threat anymore, so Qihou was very excited and couldn't sleep at all, he wanted to chat with Wu Jiao, but Wu Jiao fell asleep just like that.

Qihou lay beside him, looking sideways at the jade pendant hanging around Wu Jiao's neck, and reached out to touch it with a smile. Hou was very happy.

A few days later, the king of Xiguo came to visit Qihou in person and begged for mercy.

The monarch of the Xi Kingdom brought countless treasures and beauties, and as soon as he entered, he knelt down with a "plop".

Qi Hou sat on the table with a smile on his face and said, "Duke Xi, how can you do such a great gift?"

The king of the Xi Kingdom quickly kowtowed and said, "Duke Qi! Please forgive me, Duke Qi! Please forgive me, Duke Qi!"

Qihou laughed, and said: "Master of the Xi Kingdom, you are serious. Aren't you very polite? How can I let Gu spare my life? I really can't understand."

The face of the king of Xi State was pale. He had lent his border city to Chu State before, but now Qi State blasted the gate of Xi State’s border city, rushed in in the middle of the night, and captured all the soldiers of Chu State. Is the monarch afraid?

As a citizen of the state of Zhou, the king of the state of Xi lent his border city to the state of Chu, which was at war with the state of Zhou. The king of the state of Xi naturally knew that this was a serious crime. A small country has no power to fight back.

The king of the Xi Kingdom quickly kowtowed and said, "Duke Qi, the villain lent the border city to the people of Chu before. It was a last resort. The people of Chu are very domineering and barbaric. They coerce the villain, and the villain was forced to do so. The worst policy, if you don’t lend them the border town, the people of Chu will destroy the country of Xi! Please forgive the villain for his hard work, and forgive the villain’s mistakes!”

After hearing this, Marquis Qi glanced at Wu Jiao, who raised his eyebrows with a smile on his face, the two of them exchanged glances, and then Marquis Qi said with a smile, "Why did Mr. Xi say that? Mr. Xi is right. I, Zhou State, are loyal and everyone knows it, so how can I be a traitor who made friends with Chu State's rebellion?"

Qihou actually has his own reasons for saying this. After all, Qi has basically won Chu at this time, and the rest is a matter of time, so Qihou does not want to fight again at this time.

Moreover, Xi State is far away from Qi State. Even if Qi State destroys Xi State, it is not easy to rule it by itself. Maybe it will be restored in the future. A subsidiary country of Qi State.

When the king of Xi Kingdom heard this, his eyes rolled, and he quickly said, "Thank you Duke Qi for your kindness! Thank you Duke Qi for your kindness!"

Qihou said with a smile: "Don't be so busy thanking Gu. Although Xigong has something to hide, it is true that Xigong lent the land to the people of Chu to fight against our allied forces. Although Gu is not a member of Xiguo Negligence, but the coalition forces may not be able to ignore the fault of Xiguo?"

The king of the Xi State suddenly became frightened, saying that the Qi State does not count its faults, it must be a lie. Seeing Qi Hou's posture, the Xi State Lord is also someone who has been there, so he naturally knew that he wanted the lion to open his mouth and took advantage of the fire to rob.

But the king of Xiguo has no choice. Losing some money at this time can be regarded as a way to avoid disasters, so he can only say with blood in his heart: "Yes, yes, yes, all these mistakes are all the fault of Xiguo. Please, Mr. Qi, Mediation and mediation, this... this... my country of interest is definitely the only country of Qi to follow. This... this is a small respect, please accept it with a smile, and the rest will be sent to Duke Qi some other day."

The monarch of the Xi Kingdom opened the boxes next to them, and each box was full of treasures, but although they were all treasures, they were not worth as much as He's Bi.

When Wu Jiu thought of the Heshibi brand steamed buns hanging around his neck, his heart began to bleed, and he wished to give Qihou a slap...

The king of Xi State knelt down and begged for mercy. Wu Jiu asked Qi Hou to write a letter of alliance.

The monarch of Xiguo had no choice but to reluctantly sign the covenant.

Xi State has become a subsidiary state of Qi State. Although it is not in name, it actually occupies all of them. This is very much in line with Qi Hou's wishes.

Just half a month after the ownership of the Xi Kingdom, the Chu Kingdom sent envoys to seek peace.

When Qihou heard that the envoys from Chu State had come, he said with a smile, "Chu State people still plan to seek peace? Second brother, let's go with you to see and see."

Wu Jiu followed the Marquis of Qi to the hall. There were already three envoys from the state of Chu, one envoy and two attendants, who brought many precious and beautiful jades to present to Marquis Qi.

The envoy was very attentive, and his attitude was much better than before. He said: "Duke Qi, this villain is an envoy of Chu State, and he was ordered to come here to restore the old friendship with Qi State."

Upon hearing this, Marquis Qi smiled and said, "Is it better to restore the old one? The people of Chu State are very interesting. What is the difference between Qi State and Chu State? Do they need to be rebuilt?"

The envoy of Chu State was choked for a moment, but soon recovered his hospitality, and said with a smile: "I, Chu State, is willing to cede the former Luo State to Qi State. I wonder how sincere Qi Gong thinks?"

The State of Luo is located to the east of the Han River, and it is very rich because it is adjacent to Dongting Lake. In the early Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Luo was very powerful. With the rapid expansion of the country's power, the Luo country was no longer an opponent, and was soon wiped out.

This place of Luo State is indeed a treasure land of geomantic omen. The reason why Chu State eliminated Luo State was because Luo State's abundant water power was a strong guarantee for Chu State to extend its hand to the Central Plains.

Now the people of Chu State want to hand over the territory of the former Luo State to Qihou. Why?

The reason is very simple. There are two points in total. First, the geographical location of Luo State, the people of Chu State are in the south, and Luo State is still in the south of Chu State. Things, Qi Guo must not stretch his hand so long.

The second reason is also very simple, because it didn’t take long for Luo State to destroy the country. King Wu of Chu, that is, Xiong Pei’s father, transferred the people of Luo State. It is a hidden danger, and the people of Luo State will be transferred again. These two transfers show that the degree of hidden danger in Luo State is still very large. If you are not afraid, you will press down on resistance. Now that Chu State has no soldiers and horses to move, if Luo State resists again, the people of Chu State will be furious, so they want to throw this hot potato to Qi State and forget it.

When Qi Guo heard this, he smiled and said: "Chu Guo is very sincere, but we Qi Guo don't want to cede land."

When the envoy of the Chu State heard this, he was a little apprehensive, and said, "How dare you ask Duke Qi, what exactly do you want? As long as it is available from my Chu State, I will naturally offer it with both hands."

Qi Hou smiled faintly, squinted his eyes, stretched out his black sleeves, and said leisurely, "I want... the whole Chu country."

As soon as his words came out, the envoys of the Chu State immediately changed their expressions, and then said sharply: "Duke Qi, don't be too greedy! Even if our Chu State is defeated by your coalition forces, the prosperity of the Chu State is not a day or two. It’s still a little tender to enter the Chu country! We, the Chu people, will fight you to the death, and at that time, the Qi country may not even get the Luo country.”

Qi Hou laughed and said, "Yo, it's not good to be soft, but to be hard? Gu is not afraid of this."

Qihou said, stood up, he was tall, much taller than the envoy of Chu State, looked at the envoy faintly, and said in a low voice: "For your rudeness, I will not kill you, but if you want Go back and tell Baoshen, maybe it’s not a dead end? There is another possibility, is he unwilling to consider it, or is he afraid to consider it? That is... Baoshen’s death, and the new Wang Li.”

When the envoy heard this, he trembled in fright and backed away again and again, Qihou immediately turned cold and said, "Get out!"

Soon a soldier rushed in and threw the envoy and all his treasures out of the door. The box of treasures was thrown out, making a sound of "bang! bang!" The treasures scattered all over the ground were quickly caught by Cai. The people of the country gathered around to watch, but the people did not loot, but stared at the envoy with disdain, and drove him away.

The envoys of Chu State failed to sue for peace, and soon received a letter from Shen Guo, saying that Baoshen had betrayed the country for glory, and Shen Guo asked Chu State to hand Baoshen over to them.

Baoshen was originally the most powerful minister of the Chu State, plus Baoshen was the teacher of Chu King Xiong Pei, so his status was naturally not low. His status has plummeted and has become precarious.

Not only Baoshen's status, but the entire Chu State is also facing the danger of being divided.

The state of Chu is located in the south. The reason why the Marquis of Qi only wiped out the four armies but did not continue to attack the state of Chu is because of the geographical location of the state of Chu and the abundance of water resources. It is too long, and the purpose is aggression. In this way, the army is unknown and there is no military power. If the soldiers and horses inside the Chu State really fight to the death, the Qi State will definitely suffer heavy casualties, so Qihou does not want to use his own army to fight against the enemy. Desperately.

But the small countries around Chu that have been oppressed are not the same, because Chu’s active army has been wiped out. For a while, the small countries around Chu, or the countries that have been destroyed, are all ready to move. In the name of restoring the country or resisting aggression, the three The two sides of the sky harassed Chu State.

The starving camel is indeed bigger than the horse, and those small countries are still not enough to compete with Chu, but this kind of harassment also makes Chu a headache, and the internal divisions of Chu are getting bigger and bigger. There has been no new king for several months. Baoshen's status has also been impacted. Now the court of Chu State is in chaos. You say yours and I say mine. Rush often happens in the court. I don't know when a bunch of troops rushed in and took a minister as a Tang grabbed the body and dismembered it for public display, but Baoshen was out of control.

Qihou was not in a hurry to urge Baoshen, but he knew that Baoshen must know what to do to keep Chu.

They have been staying on the border of Cai State for so many months, and now everything has settled, it is only a matter of time, Qi Hou proposed to return to Linzi City, Wu Jiao has been away from Linzi City for so long, in fact, he really misses it.

In particular, Wu Jiu knew that he might not be far away from entering Chu, and soon he would enter Chu State, which was separated by thousands of mountains and rivers from Linzi City in Qi State, and he didn't know when he could come again.

After everyone arranged the affairs of Cai Guo's border city, they quickly got up and prepared to go back to Linzi City.

Sitting in the car, Wu Jiu saw He's Bi. Fortunately, He's Bi was very big. After all, it could be made into a Jade Seal of Chuanguo, so it was very thick and large. A corner was cut off by Marquis Qi, and it was considered complete. There is absolutely no problem in being a jade seal.

Seeing that Wu Jiu really liked He's Bi, Qi Hou sat in the car and kept holding it, so he leaned over and said, "Second brother, does this He's Bi look good? Why does Second Brother only look at jade, not jade?" What about looking alone?"

Wu Jiu smiled, raised his eyebrows and looked at Qi Hou, making Qi Hou laugh so hard, Wu Jiu hooked his fingers at him, motioning to come over.

Marquis Qi leaned over, and Wu Jiu smiled and said, "No matter how capable your majesty is, he is nothing more than an overlord, and this piece of jade can be regarded as a national treasure by the people of Chu, because it is a treasure handed down from generation to generation. knew."

"Heirloom treasure?"

Qihou said in surprise: "It's really such a good thing?"

Wu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you will know when you go back and let the best craftsman in the world polish the jade. Under the mottledness, it must be a treasure handed down from generation to generation."

Qihou looked at the mottled piece of rough jade like a stone, only a corner was cut off, exposing some jade material, and Qihou had seen many jades, so he thought that under this piece of uncut jade, there must be something wrong with it. It is very pure. If such a large piece is so pure, it is really a treasure handed down from generation to generation.

Qihou immediately laughed and said, "Isn't that solitary carved bun very precious?"

Wu Jiu gave him a helpless look, and said, "Naturally, Your Majesty knows that his heart hurts now, doesn't he?"

Qi Hou smiled, stretched out his arms to hug Wu Jiu, and said: "I want to use the best one to carve the pendant for my second brother, how can I feel distressed?"

Although Wu Jiu knew that he was not serious, he was actually quite happy when he heard this. Who wouldn't want to hear something nice?

Because the Qi State defeated the Chu army, this road was unimpeded. Everyone wished to take the initiative to borrow the road to Qi State to cross the cavalry, and the army soon triumphed.

Outside Linzi City, Prince Wukui and Prince Zhao led civil and military officials to greet them early. Seeing Qihou's convoy, everyone was in a commotion. The battle between Qi State and Chu State was thrilling, but it was not dangerous The whole war took advantage of the right time and place, the loss of soldiers and horses was very small, and the consumption of money was also reduced to the minimum.

After not seeing each other for a few months, Wu Jiu found that Young Master Zhao seemed to have grown taller again, as if he was a stable adult.

Young Master Wu Kui and Young Master Zhao clasped their hands together and said in unison, "Welcome to your father's triumphant return."

Qi Hou hadn't seen his son for a long time, so he opened the curtain of the car and said with a smile: "I will trouble you for the affairs of the court."

Everyone was celebrating at the gate of the city, when they saw a tall horse galloping fast, and the man on the horse was the newly married Gongsun Xipeng.

Gongsun Xipeng quickly drove his horse over, and got off his horse quickly, walking in a hurry, and he knew there was something important to report at a glance.

Gongsun Xipeng is the chief executive, in charge of the diplomacy of various countries, so there must be some important movement when he comes.

Gongsun Xipeng dismounted from his horse, ran over quickly, handed a roll of lambskin to Marquis Qi, and said, "Your Majesty, Master Luo has issued an order."

Qihou took the lambskin, unfolded it for a look, then sneered, and said, "It's hard to be safe, but something has happened again, go back to the palace, and the court will discuss it."

As he said this, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. After all, Marquis Qi had just returned triumphantly, and the two sons had prepared a grand banquet, and they were waiting for Marquis Qi to enter the palace. However, Marquis Qi suddenly held a court meeting at this moment. What a moth is coming.

Everyone was right, Hu Qi did have another moth.

Marquis Qi entered the palace and hurried into the small bedroom to change clothes, Wu Jiu followed him in and said, "Your Majesty, what is the order of the Son of Heaven?"

Qihou changed into the court clothes of the upper court, and said with a smile: "Second brother Bingxue is smart, you can guess."

Wu Jiao thought for a while, then said suspiciously: "The Son of Heaven doesn't mean that he wants Qi to take advantage of the victory and attack Chu in one fell swoop?"

Qi Hou smiled and said: "Gu said that the second brother Bingxue is smart."

When Wu Jiu heard it, it was really like this, and the emperor really did not feel pain in his back when he stood up and talked...

The banquet could not be held for the time being, so Marquis Qi hurriedly changed his clothes and went into the Lu bedroom. The ministers of civil and military affairs were already waiting, and Wu Jiu was also sitting at the banquet. After everyone kowtowed, they returned to their seats and sat down.

Qihou reached out and handed the sheepskin to the eunuch next to him, and asked the eunuch to read the emperor's order.

Exactly as Wu Jiu guessed, what the Son of Heaven meant was that the Qi State had made a great contribution this time, first he praised it, and then let the Qi State take advantage of the victory to pursue it and directly invade the old nest of the Chu State, destroying the State of Chu, in the name of Chu State The country does not respect the emperor and does not pay tribute to the emperor.

When everyone heard this, there was an uproar.

Although the Qi State has defeated the Chu State's army four times, and all the active armies of the Chu State have been severely damaged, the premise is the active army.

The state of Chu is a powerful country. The so-called active army is the army that can send troops to attack other countries, and can also send troops to resist the invasion of other countries.

In addition, there are still some that cannot be moved, such as the guard army in Yingdu, the capital of Chu State, and the guard army in the palace of the King of Chu. These troops are estimated to have 2 people.

Even if these guards are removed, each region still has its own army. The fiefdoms of Chu State are the same as those of other countries. Local village officials also have their own troops. Although they are not powerful, Chu State has such a big plate , if you fight to the death, there will still be a lot of people gathered, and this number is quite impressive.

It is said that these armies are far less powerful than the four armies of Chu State, but if the Qi army really invades Chu State, then Chu State's army will fight with its back, how can it not use all its strength?

There are also clichéd questions about armaments, military supplies, rations and front lines.

The battle line is too long, needless to say, from the top of the Zhou Dynasty to the south, although it is not far at all for modern planes and trains, it takes only three hours by plane and six hours by train, but If it's a line of battle, that's a long way to go.

Another point is that the emperor was like a lion, he just asked Qi to send troops, and he didn't mention the issue of armaments at all. He dared to let Hu Qi be beaten, and they didn't pay at all, just waiting to eat melons.

When the ministers of the DPRK and China heard this, they all had confidence in their hearts, and they started discussing one after another, and there was some noise in the palace for a while.

Wu Jiao frowned. He had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but no matter what, this battle can’t be fought. They just have to wait for the time. Baoshen can’t bear the pressure and will definitely surrender to Qi State. At that time, Wu Jiao will become King of Chu , is also a way to subdue Chu.

Hu Qi may have seen that Qi State wanted to subdue Chu State, so he was very afraid. If Qi State and Chu State were united, it would be a pair of powerful arms that would embrace the entire Zhou Dynasty. He felt that it was dangerous, so he simply wanted to give up the state of Chu and destroy the state directly, which was better than keeping it by his side as a threat all the time.

The crowd was still clamoring, but Qi Hou reached out and knocked on the table. Although the sound was not loud, it was loud, and everyone quickly fell silent.

Qi Hou said indifferently: "What do you think of this matter?"

Although there are many parties in the court of Qi State, in this matter, everyone is unconditionally in the same style.

One person said: "Your Majesty, absolutely not!"

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty, although we have enough troops in Qi State, if we want to reach into Chu State, we will undoubtedly put our hand into the tiger's mouth. Although the tiger can hunt, it will not be bitten off. No arm! The gain outweighs the loss!"

Another person said quite boldly: "The emperor must know this truth and is afraid of the strength of our Qi State, so he let our Qi State go head-to-head with Chu State!"

As soon as his words came out, everyone was silent for a while, and then they all joined together, as if they had broken the pot.

Because Gao Xi and Guo Yizhong were also abandoned by the emperor before, and they were humiliated, so the two superintendents of the state are also facing the state of Qi at this time.

Qihou said: "What do you think the second brother should do?"

Wu Jiao smiled, cupped his hands and said, "Jiao also feels that you don't need to fight head-on if you can sit back and enjoy the success. Today's Chu State is at the end of its strength. In order to protect its own land, Chu's doctors want to protect their own status. They will all ask for peace from our country of Qi, and there is no need to exert more pressure, lest the tension be too tight, and the gain outweighs the loss... If your lord wants to reject the emperor, it is very simple."

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when he said it was simple, and Wu Jiu obviously hadn't said it yet, but they were already relieved, and they all became inexplicably trusting.

Qihou smiled and said, "Oh? What is the solution?"

Wu Jiu said with a smile: "Your Majesty came back from the Cai Kingdom, the climate is not acclimatized, and in addition to the hard work of this station, he was accidentally sick, unable to manage the government, and the young masters are young, so it is not easy to be arbitrary. , so we can only wait for your majesty to recover."

Wu Jiu's method is really scoundrel, when he said it, everyone laughed inexplicably.

Qi Hou also pretended to cough twice, and said: "That's right, no wonder Gu feels that his body is so weak. It turns out that he is sick, so let's go back to the court. I will trouble Gaozi Guozi with this matter." The two shangqings have finished writing with the emperor, so I will go back to the dormitory to recuperate."

As Marquis Qi said, he waved his hand to let everyone retreat, and then he entered the inner hall.

As soon as everyone dispersed, they all burst into laughter, feeling very relieved, Gao Xi and
